It's how high you are and the time it takes to healIt's how high you are and the time it takes to heal

I can climb a tree and push up through the leaves 'causeOnly when I try am I happier to seeMy head's in some kind of space where boyhood used to beIt's how high you are and the time it takes to heal

But it's all a lie and I've never felt so sadThere's a streak of melancholy running down my backAnd there's a great mistrust that borders round the manI call it strange from a boy who never left his headIt's how high you are and the time it takes to heal

And everyone needs someone to live byEveryone needs someone to live by

But it's all a lie, it's a lie to make you begFor something more for something better than you've hadAnd I wish I knewI wish I knew how to change'Cause everyone needs someone to live byEveryone needs someoneEveryone needs someone to live byEveryone needs someoneEveryone needs someoneIt's how high you are and the time it takes to heal
